I Became a Crazy Swordsmanship Instructor in the Game

* * *

During the journey to Elpenia Forest, nothing special happened. That was, except that Cynthia Murella’s horse was a little tired from carrying grown men and women.

“See over there? It’s like an endless forest. That place is Elpenia Forest. It was named after the forest where the elves live, but elves usually call it the Big Forest.”

Rizriel explained the forest like a guide.

Philip was, in fact, self-explanatory.

‘I spent several hours there.’

He was a man who knew all about secret places, secrets, and hidden treasures that even the elves in the forest didn’t know.

“It’s almost time for the elven patrols to come out to meet you… .”

After standing in front of the trail that could be called the entrance to the forest, Rizriel gave instructions to the porters and mercenaries.

“There is a campsite a little further east. You can set up camp there and wait for us to come out. All your business will be over in a day or two, so please rest in peace.”

“Yes. miss. So, have you heard? Everyone, get ready!”

The representative of the porters urged the porters with a happy expression. He knew that the camp Rizriel had spoken of was quite comfortable and comfortable.

“Ah, Mr. Butum. Come here for a moment.”

Just as the mercenaries were about to move along with the porters, Philip called the mercenary commander, Butum, and gave him a note.

“What is this?”

“It’s nothing. You just have it.”

“No, I know what this is… .”

Even though he said that, Bottom calmly accepted it. He wasn’t stupid enough to defy Philip’s words.

As the mercenaries and porters moved away, from the depths of the forest, several human figures were seen moving at high speed through the trees.

Soon, elves dressed in green appeared in front of the party. They seemed to be combatants, judging from the bows in their hands, but they had no other armaments.

“The Yousef Corps never break a promise. Welcome to visit. Rizriel Youssef.”

One blonde elf, who seemed to be the representative, stepped forward. The elven woman’s dress was embroidered with hair, which seemed to indicate her rank.

“long time no see. Sentinel Ursil.”

Lizriel bowed politely.

‘… really pretty.’

Johnny’s mouth widened as he saw the elves who appeared. She thought she was pretty, but compared to the elves, she didn’t seem like that.

Seeing their extraordinarily beautiful appearance made me feel as if something was downright disheartening.

“All the promised items are loaded onto the wagon. Everything is prepared with good quality.”

“You prepared it, so of course. Lizriel. Rather than that, there are a lot of guests today, right? I must be careful not to get lost.”

Sentinel Ursil seemed to care that no matter how many people visited the forest. Philip knew why.

Elves were very tolerant of a party brought by someone they could trust. It was usually like that unless it was a race of enemies like the Dwarves.

The elven scout leader, Sentinel Ursil, approached the horses tied to the wagon and stroked their buttocks. The horses liked it, snorting and wagging their tails, as if they liked the touch.

“Come on, move. Guys. If you suffer a little bit, I’ll present you with sweet carrots. Everyone please follow me too. I think I did a good job putting a lot of fruit wine.”

‘That’s why they sent everyone back, even the coachman.’

The horses moved on their own, as if they understood her words.

The party started moving toward the depths of Elpenia Forest along Sentinel Ursil.

* * *

Elpenia Forest was peaceful and beautiful.

Small and large beasts were not wary of the party at all, and occasionally curious animals such as fawns and foxes would come close to the party.

The elves were kind enough.

It wasn’t as comfortable as dealing with a very close friend, but it was enough to treat a customer I didn’t like.

Philip watched the party’s reaction. Lizriel, who had visited a few times, was relaxed, and Janice and Lua seemed to be whispering something sentimental in each other’s ears with their eyes twinkling.

Freevia looked around the forest with a puzzled expression. To her, a dragon, the forest where the elves live would not be much different from the neighborhood where many stray cats live.

“… I’ve been around the continent quite a bit, but it seems like it’s the first time I’ve entered the Elpenia Forest myself. My darling, how are you?”

“It’s my first time too. More than that, that elf girl named Ursil is really pretty.”

“You are more beautiful in my eyes.”

“… … Really?”

Hearing the voices of Cassler and Cynthia, Philip let out a small sigh. I knew that the couple’s golden hair was good, but hearing that right next to me made me feel like I was getting goosebumps.

After going into the depths for about two hours, we soon came to the center of a forest full of tall, tall trees. They were literally trees the size of houses.

The elves seemed to live in holes in the great tree, or in houses made of leaves and dead branches.

“come here. Because the elder wants to meet the guests.”

After following Ursil’s guidance, Philip soon saw a tall tree in the distance.

‘That’s the World Tree.’

A tree boasting a gigantic majesty like a national landmark, growing high enough to reach close to the clouds, looked like a world tree.

The branches of the World Tree spread all over Elpenia Forest. It was the same with the roots, but it was quite strange that the roots were entangled in the shape of a house, as if telling them to come in and live there.

It looked like a hotel built from a single tree.

From one of the natural dwellings, an elf woman dressed in rather classy white walked out.

“You guys can go back now and rest.”

“Yes, Sentinel.”

When she appeared, Sentinel Ursil sent the other elves away and approached the white-clad elf and bowed her head.

“I brought guests. Grandma.”

The white-clad elf woman, who seemed to be related by blood to Ursil, greeted the group with a gentle smile.

“It took a lot of effort to come from far away. We have prepared a place to rest, so please unpack your luggage first.”

It was a way of speaking that seemed oddly instructive. Philip nodded without thinking, but Privia couldn’t stand that attitude.

When she showed signs of discomfort, the white-clad elf, feeling something ominous, looked at Privia in amazement.

Soon after, she read the ferocious aura surrounding Pribia, and stumbled in contemplation.

“… Grandma? Are you okay?”

“huh? oh i’m fine baby When you get older, sometimes your body doesn’t listen to you.”

Like a long-lived elf, the white-clad elf was quicker than humans. Breaking into a cold sweat, she reassured Ursil.

“Eh, welcome to Elpenia Forest. Please feel comfortable as if you were at home. Are you sure? You go and help the guests unpack and relax.”

Her suddenly extremely polite demeanor was questionable, but no one in the party, including Philip, noticed that Privia had done anything.

Freevia took off her robe hat and stepped forward.

“Elven elder? Can I talk to you for a second?”

Sentinel Ursil protested at that vague tone.

“Wait, what kind of disrespect to the elder?”

Then, the elf elder sighed and scolded Ursil.

“Yursil! Stay still. Of course you can talk. customer. May I show you to my room?”

“Sure. Baby, follow me.”

Privia snapped her finger at Philip.

“You have to treat your guests well. Ursil. got it?”

The elder elf pressed Ursil with an awkward expression. Sentinel Ursil nodded with a puzzled expression, as if her attitude was a little unfamiliar.

“Joe, to think that a noble and great person is visiting a lowly place… .”

Guided to a room that seemed to be the elder’s private room, Philip licked his lips at the elf elder lying flat on the floor.

Seeing an elf who had lived enough to live like that made me feel uncomfortable.

“Looks like you’ve lived close to a thousand years, but you really don’t notice. The elders of the previous generation were not like this, but these days, do you treat a poor girl like you as an elder?”

Privia tapped the elder elf’s buttocks with the heel of her shoe.

‘It’s a b*tch. really.’

“sorry… sorry… .”

Elves were basically a race that feared dragons. Well, like any race, elves feared dragons from the depths of their genes.

“Can you stop bothering me?”

“joy! You guys are weak because you are weak. If you treat them well for nothing, they will become a bad habit.”

When Philip asked cautiously, Privia gave a snort and gave instructions to the elder.

“weather.”

“yes!”

Like a well-trained recruit, the elf elder jumped up and took a standing stance.

“If you were a young elf, I would have forgiven you generously, but if you lived close to a thousand years old, wouldn’t you have to take care of yourself? You dare to be arrogant in front of me, do you want to stop living after living too long?”

As Privia growled, the elder shook his head and shook his head.

“Oh, no. I must have gone crazy for a moment because it has been so long since I have met noble people.”

“I am a benevolent dragon, so I will forgive you. okay. Is Alves awake now?”

Only then did the elf elder know what the dragon in front of him had been looking for. It seemed that he had come to meet the green dragon Alves, the guardian dragon of the elves.

“Aubes went to sleep four years ago… .”

“… okay?”

Since it was impossible to disturb the sleep of the same dragon, Freevia nodded.

“I want three leaves and two fruits of the World Tree. Can you take four years to come?”

At those words, the elder’s complexion darkened rapidly. It was quite surprising to Philip that an elf’s skin color, like white jade, could die to such an extent.

“that… that is… Of course, I should give it to you, but… The problem… There is a problem.”

The elder knelt down with tears in his eyes.

“Is there a problem?”

When Pribia’s expression became fierce, the elder made a face that was unfair to the world.

“I can give you even a hundred leaves! However, since the divine beast who lives in Elpenia Forest is guarding the fruit of the World Tree strictly, even the queen cannot approach it without permission.”

At those words, Freevia tilted her head.

“Shinsu? Did anything like that live in this forest? Even if he does, why does he protect the fruit of the World Tree?”

“We don’t even know… But it’s not a lie. Please trust me.”

Philip and Pribia never thought that the Elder was lying. I was so scared, but there was no way I could bring out a lie.

Philip pressed his temples to refresh his memory. Soon an event flashed through his mind.

“… By divine beast, are you referring to that big wolf? He had horns on his head… .”

“No, that’s right. The one brought by the noble one.”

When the elder answered, Philip nodded and turned his gaze to Privia.

“But why are you looking for the fruit of the World Tree? Didn’t you say you only need a leaf to make an elixir?”

“… are you stupid If you add fruit, the effect is much better. And crucially, the fruit of the World Tree is very delicious. It’s good to make juice by squeezing the juice, and it’s good to brew tea.”

“Then, of course, we have to save it. I can fix it.”
